IELTS WRITING TASK 2 - ADVANTAGE & DISADVANTAGE ESSAY - SRI SAI ARAVIND REDDY CHALLA

-

It is becoming increasingly popular to have a year off between finishing school and going to university. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

In recent times, young people began to take a break for a year between passing out of high school and getting into university. There are many benefits of doing this, however the disadvantages cannot be ignored. This essay illustrates both the pros and cons of choosing such a step after school.

Several young people often prefer to take predefined paths and mistakenly consider that field as their area of interest after their high school. Going on a break will help them to explore their passion and what career they want to pursue. This not only helps them to explore their interests, but also to understand several people and numerous life skills which may not be taught at school or university. Some people utilize this time to enhance themselves with a range of skills such as drawing, arts, or may be acting. Who knows? This hobby may become a career for them professionally and reach great heights with flying colours in that particular chosen field. In this time, they can also build new connections, travel, and find the problems the world is facing and could research towards a solution that could cause a great impact in the future.

However, besides the advantages, there are quite a number of drawbacks to this. First being the lack of motivation to continue studies. When people take a break from their academics, it is human nature that they will feel reluctant to get back to study a university course and rather prefer chilling at home. Following this, several universities wish the student to explain about this gap when put on his resume, which in many cases cannot be justified. Also, when compared to fellow friends or classmates, the student feels that they are ahead of him and this causes an increase in self doubt and leads to a fear of lagging behind. As it is said, “ An idle mind is a devil’s workplace”, when they have such an amount of leisure time in the year off, they tend to get more unnecessary thoughts such as addiction to social media or a video game which may turn the kids into couch potatoes.

In conclusion, I believe that having a break for a year after high school has many advantages and is useful to the students in several ways. But there are as many disadvantages of this break which can have an impact as strong as the benefits. So it is advised that students should keep in mind both these advantages and disadvantages before deciding to go for such a gap after school.

Some people think that intelligence is innate, while others think we can improve our intelligence through learning. Discuss both sides and give your opinion? Intelligence is measured by IQ. A person is more intelligent only when he has more IQ, although we can improve our IQ by working on it. Intelligent people can analyze spontaneously, think intellectually and their memory is also at a good standard. As every coin has 2 sides in the same way every argument has more than one opinion. Some people think intelligence is innate although many others think intelligence can be improved. In my subsequent paragraphs, I will explain both sides more broadly.   Many people think intelligence is inborn and  children will get genes from their parents or ancestors. So if a person or his ancestor has a good IQ, it can be inherited by their children not only IQ but also many qualities can be inherited f om  Parents. If a person is a singer or a dancer then his or her child gets that talent from their

Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both these views and give your opinion. Environment, the most essential term for human life plays a major role in the cycle of nature. These days the environmental conditions are degrading day by day, few of them say, extinction of species in biotic organisms is one of the causes. Others say that there are different environmental problems. I'm going to discuss both of them in my writeup. On one hand, it is stated that, one of the causes for degradation of environment is the extinction of species and also getting endangered. Mostly, the life cycle of an animal or a plant depends on other species, when the species are getting endangered, the cycle is disturbed causing trouble to more organisms. This ensures that the  nature is unbalanced and also causing environmental problems. On the other hand,

In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding about the history of the house or building they live in. What are the reasons for this? How can people research this?   Many people probe into the stories of their homes to find the history of the house or building they live in simply because they are curious. Most cities have been in existence since a long period of time and many of its ancient buildings are examples of the stories she (the city) has to narrate to those who’ve forgotten about her.   Many people get into fields related to the study of such stories and buildings whereas, the others research about this out of their inquisitiveness. With cities being developed as concrete jungles, most neighbourhoods and houses look alike thus making people wonder what’s so different or unique about the homes they live in. They may want to know why they spent a million dollars buying an apartment in one specific area because they were getting a similar lo
